As the blog stated:<br /><br /><i>"If we're going to have insult-based PSAs, they should cover everybody, and the invective should be commensurate with the amount of damage the vehicle is likely to cause."</i><br /><br />And concluded that the appropriate PSA for motorists would therefore be <a href="http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2011/04/knee-jerk-reaction-all-out-of.html" rel="nofollow">"Don't Be A Fucking Cocksucker."</a><br /><br />I was hit by a drunk cyclist (yeah, I know) and walked away without a scratch.

The last car I saw attempt a quick turn to avoid a collision after running a light rolled over.John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-46293536323775837582012-01-15T19:30:23.836-06:002012-01-15T19:30:23.836-06:00As Keri notes, cyclists can and do hurt other road...As Keri notes, cyclists can and do hurt other road users. However, their capability to do so is minuscule compared to the WMD potential of even a Toyota Prius in "limp home" mode. Mostly, cyclists that kill, wind up killing themselves. Mostly, by doing stuff that is dumb by almost anyone's standard.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-27002531567822733652012-01-15T18:11:54.048-06:002012-01-15T18:11:54.048-06:00Said perfectly.
